The sound of a Trident EQ in a plug-in!

NOTE: This product requires iLok authorization. For more information, call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer at (800) 222-4700.

There are some boards that seem to just impart a bit of magic to everything that passes through them. One of these legendary boards is the Trident A-Range console. Only 13 original consoles were built, and these 13 boards have gone on to help shape the sound of many classic rock 'n' roll albums. Add the classic sound of the Trident to your DAW with Softube's Trident A-Range EQ.

With the Trident A-Range EQ inserted on a track, your audio is treated to four bands of EQ (with high and lowpass filters) pulled directly from channel 15 at Denmark's Sweet Silence Studio "B." The colorful tones conjured by the Trident A-Range EQ have been heard on such important albums as Metallica's "Ride The Lightning" and "Master of Puppets", and Ritchie Blackmore's guitar on the Rainbow albums "Difficult to Cure" and "Bent out of Shape". Now you can have that classic sound with Softube's Trident A-Range EQ!

Softube Trident A-Range EQ Native EQ Plug-in Features at a Glance:
  • Created together with original designer Malcolm Toft
  • Each and every component carefully modeled
  • Same sweet sounding EQ filters that made the original legendary
  • Interaction between the different bands, making this equalizer one of its kind
  • Saturation control
  • Very CPU friendly

Add Trident sound to your rig with Softube's Trident A-Range EQ!

Used subtly this can be an amazing mix tool to give something brightness without being harsh. That's pretty hard to find in the digital realm so this is a welcome tool for me!

Killer Guitar EQ Plug-in

As a recording hobbyist, I learn mostly by trial and error it seems, and I have spent loads of time fooling around with various EQs and such but only getting consistently uninspiring results.

Easy to use and instant gratification! Fred Freda is spot on with his observations in his reviews. Couple this with Softube's Tilt EQ and you have a winning combo for great guitar tracks. I can see now why the hardware unit this plug-in is based on was used for Metallica's Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets albums. Epic! close [-]
